Flickr user zulfaqar wanted a desktop that was elegant, informative, but also relaxing and serene for those long days in front of the computer doing work for the office or writing papers for school. What else can we say? Mission accomplished.

This desktop keeps weather, time, and date widgets off to the side so they're not in the way of your work or of the beautiful wallpaper here, and if you can't spot it above, there's a semi-transparent Google search widget on the desktop too for quick access to the information he needs. Also, even though you can't see them right now, his desktop icons are still there. Want the same look for your Windows Desktop? It's pretty easy. Here's what you'll need:

The Illustro Rainmeter Skin (built-in to Rainmeter) for the weather widget in the lower-left corner of the desktop

The Pragmatic 3.0 Rainmeter skin for the clock in the upper right corner of the desktop

The Elegance skin for Rainmeter for the Google search box on the bottom right, with transparency set to 80%.

That's all there is to it. If you're not familiar with Rainmeter or need help getting started, check out our guide to building a gorgeous desktop with Rainmeter for some tips, or stop by zulfaqar's Flickr page to pay him a compliment and ask how he managed to make everything work.

Do you have a great, beautifully productive desktop of your own that you'd like to share? Go ahead and post it to the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell Flickr Group with a description of how you made it and it may be the next featured desktop.
